It went fantastic - quick, easy, and effective.
Description of Work: Steve Albert fixed our front door, which was sagging miserably and making a terrible screeching sound. He was communicative, punctual, professional, and kind. We asked him about other work and he let us know what he would / wouldn't be able to do. He even referred us to other professionals for work outside his sphere of expertise. Loved it!

I left a message and Steve returned my call promptly. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly as I moved out of town & a family member met Steve at my house. He took care of the drawers in a hour's time and was professional & courteous. I would recommend him and use him again for future house maintenance.
Description of Work: I contacted Steve to fix some kitchen drawers where the side hinge was broken, making the kitchen drawer not open/close properly.

When installing the cabinets Steve put a screw through a pipe behind my refrigerator while putting in a cabinet. Approximately a month later, when I was finishing up some work that he never finished, i started to take out the screw and water began to come out of the wall. My home warranty would not cover it because they said it was negligence. I move some things in the room behind the kitchen and discover water damage to my new hardwood floors. Steve will not return my calls, texts or emails.
Description of Work: I needed my cabinets removed and new ones installed

Steve from Curb Appeal did a great job. He quoted us a fair price and had all of the charges listed in his estimate. He arrived on time and was very professional. He patched all of our leaks on our porch roof and fixed our torn flashing. He also added new flashing along the side of our roof to prevent rodents from entering the attic. We had him also repair some of our eves and remove our old gutters. He was honest and did a very professional job. He cleaned up his mess and hauled away our old gutters. I plan on using him again.

Steve had come by to solve other problems before: fix a broken lock on my garage door, determine the best course as per making a fountain pump functional, coming up with an amazing scheme to make my crawl space humanely inaccessible to skunks...this guy is quite the find. His prices are reasonable, he is precise and determined without being overbearing, has a fine sense of humor, very easy to get along with. I just wish I could have contacted him when I first moved here.

He determined that roots had invaded the drain. He installed a new drainpipe. For the lock problem he disassembled the deadbolt and lubricated then reassembled. Also adjusted the strike plate to allow easy operation.

Steve Albert was very responsive and easy to work with. Even though I never met him, he was upfront and straight forward with me from quoting the job through completion. He has a portfolio of pictures of completed jobs that you can view. It makes it very easy to put confidence in him. He is an accomplished handyman with a broad skill set. Steve went beyond the contracted work to do minor repair on the side gate upon my tenant's request at no charge! That is admirable.

Great! Based on the quality of Steve's work on our rental maintenance (previous review), we hired him back to fix bathroom flooring damage caused by a leaking toilet. Steve gave a very prompt estimate, fit us into his schedule to ensure our tenants weren't inconvenienced, and stuck to his bid. He sent us photos as the project progressed and did a great job. We were relieved to have it all handled so quickly and professionally. Plus, he is a genuinely nice guy to work with!

Steve spent a very long day at our rental property. He was prompt, courteous, and cleaned up the work space. He respected our tenants privacy and was friendly. He has lots of experience fixing odd things, and had good suggestions on how to solve persistence problems. He was able to complete all the things on our long list, plus found other things that needed attention and took care of those. We would hire him again - and did.
Description of Work: Rental house maintenance including - removed old AC and replaced window glass and glazing; repaired sagging gate; replaced kitchen cabinet latches; replaced irrigation timer; repaired existing crawlspace cover; patched exterior stucco by downspout; repaired grape stake fence; replaced electric cover plate; inspected eves, removed palm fronds from roof and raked leaves, plus more.

The date of last contact is a complete guess as it's been too long. I purchased the deal because I needed a small job done. Contacted provider and let him know we were in no rush but would like him to contact us when he had wasn't too busy. After a couple of months gave him a call to see if he was available. Explained the job and he asked my husband to text a picture of what we needed. My husband couldn't figure out how to do this so called and left a message. Provider never called or came by to discuss the project. Angie's List was good enough to credit my account towards another good deal which I have used and appreciated.
Description of Work: Didn't use the provider as he never responded to the last phone call.

Description of Work: Steve has worked on several rentals for us. Lots of different projects. This one involved dry rot repair. Fascias that were rotting and needed cutting out and replacing. At this location, he has also (on other occasions) worked on roof repair, fence repair and equipment repair

in diameter.I have used Steve many times in the past and have been pleased with his work, etc. This is the HOA report my mail slot was not attached. Steve found mail slot on ground, reattached by installing wood strips behind garage wall siding, allowing the screws to anchor in a solid piece of wood because the holes in the siding had enlarged. Also tenants were complaining about the neighbor's barking dogs and he reported on what he heard. Thanks Steve, again!

The new door knob works perfectly. The grab bars were placed exactly where I told Steve to put them. He had previously installed grab bars in my other shower and did such a good job I had him come back to do this job. He did a very nice job cleaning the bathtub when he was finished.

Steve was great. He happened to be in the neighborhood when I called him and he came out almost immediately. He recommended repairing rather than replacing one of my screen doors and gave me options for doing it myself or having him do it. We set up times to get the work done, but had to reschedule because of the storm last week. Steve was very flexible about coming in evenings ands weekends ands actually finished the job on Sunday morning. We are very happy with his work and plan to use Curb Appeal again.
Description of Work: Repaired/replaced screen doors. Trouble shot hot water issue in kitchen sink.

Steve is awesome! In trying to save me money he purchased my new door on sale and delivered it to me. Several months later we scheduled him to do the job. He's always helpful, on time, cleans up, and most importantly does a great job. This was my second time hiring him and I will again in the future. I highly recommend him.

Steve was professional and prompt. Knew his business and fixed all our problems. I would highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Fixed seven doors. We had doors that didn't open, doors that didn't shut, doors that didn't stay open, door with knobs that fell off. Doors which had lost weather stripping, exterior doors that lost their sweep so that leaves came in. Security doors without security screws. Doors with locks that didn't engage. In other words we had door problems. Steve fixed them all.

Steve was the first provider who returned my call and he arranged to come by the next morning because of his schedule. He called that evening stating that he was going to be in my neighborhood and asked if it was okay to come by that night. He arrived around 7:30 PM. He disassembled the door handle, latching and deadbolt mechanisms. He lubricated the mechanisms and was able to retract the deadbolt and get the upper and lower latches to open and close which allow me to close the door. Steve was very thorough and he made every effort to get the deadbolt to function again. He finally concluded that the deadbolt mechanism needed to be replace. In addition to being very thorough, Steve was very personable. I appreciated his willingness to come after hours. I will definitely use him again in the future if I need the services of a handyman.
Description of Work: Steve repaired a stuck deadbolt lock in a French door.
